CPR Song of the Summer
When it comes to performing CPR, having the right rhythm can make all the difference. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends performing chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 beats per minute (bpm). And for a sweet spot in this range, aiming for 110 bpm can be incredibly effective. At 110 bpm, you’re right in the middle of the recommended range, which makes it easier to keep a consistent pace without speeding up or slowing down too much. But how do you keep that rhythm in a high-pressure situation? The answer might be as simple as choosing your favorite song!
Did you know that a significant number of CPR-certified individuals use songs to maintain the correct rhythm during CPR? According to a survey by the AHA, nearly 60% of people who performed CPR in an emergency reported using a song to help keep time. Studies have also shown that people who train with music are more likely to perform CPR at the correct rate during an emergency. So, use these playlists and pick your favorite song to always remember in an emergency!
